I worked with a Scottish guy a few years ago . He told me what the definition of a gentleman is : a guy that knows how to play the bag pipes , and doesnt .

In my province in Canada , a national drug chain charges 40 bucks for the rapid test if its for travel . You can book an appointment on line and show up for the test. I think its cheaper at Costco , but i dont go there.

I am getting poor service from a matter regarding the estate of my MIL from a major bank . I fire off an email to the office of the president and i do get a response from a customer relations manager , so it trickles down to someone that will actually direct somebody to do something. It has helped as you know that old saying of how it flows downhill. I know it doesnt get to the President , but i do get some action and response. So , advising the OP to contact the office of the big guy is appropriate.

I think driving rather than flying is a big hassle. For me a 3 hour flight would be 2-3 days driving home .

I didnt know adults gave out loot bags , last time i saw that was a kiddie birthday party .

Isnt that new celebrity ship, the one with what looks like a freight elevator hanging off the side an ugly looking ship . RC has much prettier designs .

I`ve also had great days at the office. Nothin like bagging a big order to brighten up my day . They are distant memories now that i`m retired .😄

did you try unplugging it and plugging it back in ?🤣

Ya , i keep a low profile , so no decorations in or out of the cabin.

Im sure they would find something edible in the Windjammer .

Yep , just the wife and I, and nobody else in our cabin. We dont even tell anybody we are going on vacation until its almost departure day .

Try the Radiance class , they are a more traditional layout that you may like . I personally dont like them as i like Oasis class .

Thank you for the review , Allure is our favorite ship .

One of my favorite ships also. Thanks for the review . We will be on it in a couple of months .

Oasis class is the best for us , with Allure our favorite as it doesnt have the big slides yet . Pricing is good too most likely because of age and not being amped yet . That is a bonus for us. 😃

Last place i would go to is Alaska . Not even for free . No interest at all . I just cruise for the ship now , so Florida is a good start point for me.

I booked one last year because it was about half price and we got double points x 2. Its just the two of us . Junior suites are more than we paid for the CL now.

Thanks for the tip about the elevator . Its always a cluster xxxx on the last day.

Cancelling and re booking an Oasis class ship instead . lol 🙂 My least favorite class of ship but others love it . I like ships with a promenade . I was amused at the self leveling billiard table on the Serenade .

I always pick september to cruise. I recall it rained once in San Juan . And one other time the day before the cruise in florida . Been pretty lucky with the weather so far.

Why not get 2 connecting ocean view balcony cabins . Cost you much less and you get a door you can close when you want .

This was pre-covid . Couple of years ago was my last cruise . My error for not putting a timeline .

Good idea to pick your table . I never did when we went with early TD on our first cruises . We just took whatever they gave us . It worked out well as we met some great people to dine with . We then went with MTD as we didnt want to wait for others before we started dining. Those tables are so close together it was like a table for 6 as we always chatted with either table next to us, but didnt have to wait for them to be served. It was typically the same people too.

Wow , i took MTD for at least the last 6-7 cruises and strolled in the dining room at 6 pm every day , never a line up . This was oasis class ships. I snagged a half price deal last September on a suite so i get costal kitchen for my upcoming cruise . Seems i dodged a bullet . Hope this get this mess fixed soon. I wont wait in line . I will consider early fixed seating in the dining room next time .

I got a boardwalk balcony once for the novelty , first time on the Oasis . We had ocean views out the back of the ship. I booked outside ocean view balcony cabins ever since .
